Abstract:
Recently, Minimum Cost Multicut Formulations have been proposed and proven to
be successful in both motion trajectory segmentation and multi-target tracking
scenarios. Both tasks benefit from decomposing a graphical model into an
optimal number of connected components based on attractive and repulsive
pairwise terms. The two tasks are formulated on different levels of granularity
and, accordingly, leverage mostly local information for motion segmentation and
mostly high-level information for multi-target tracking. In this paper we argue
that point trajectories and their local relationships can contribute to the
high-level task of multi-target tracking and also argue that high-level cues
from object detection and tracking are helpful to solve motion segmentation. We
propose a joint graphical model for point trajectories and object detections
whose Multicuts are solutions to motion segmentation {\it and} multi-target
tracking problems at once. Results on the FBMS59 motion segmentation benchmark
as well as on pedestrian tracking sequences from the 2D MOT 2015 benchmark
demonstrate the promise of this joint approach.
